Your money or
your life?
Why is it that the least
favorite topic of those who sit in the pew is actually one of the most
favorite topics of Jesus when He walked on earth? Jesus talked about
money in 16 out of his 38 parables. On the average, one out of every ten
verses in the Gospels deals with money. Overall, there are over 2,000
verses in the Bible that deal with money or possessions while there are
only 500 verses that deal with prayer and less than 500 that deal with
faith. Why did Jesus talk about money so much? Why must we be sure to
teach accurately on this subject as well today? Because without
question, money is one of the hardest things there is to give over to
the Lordship of Christ in our lives. We often call this stewardship. But
stewardship isn’t just about your money. That’s way too simple.
Stewardship goes much deeper. Stewardship is about your very life. |
